國外上的中學一直到博士，工作需要所以一月30日回國考的雅思，第一次考，A類, 成績昨天剛剛出來，聽，讀，寫 8分，說9分，總分8.5。

　　本來看論壇里很多同學都發帖回報3g及分享經驗，很猶豫是不是也該這樣做，因為本人也只能算初考rookie，真的沒什么考試的strategy/tactics。不過后來想一想還是說一些有關英語口語學習的一些經驗，希望對有需要的同學有所幫助。。。

　　1) Try to speak without fear. The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they wont say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they dont talk at all. Get over it for gods sake! The fastest way to learn anything is to do it again and again until you get it right. My own experience is to talk to yourself when you are along. It would be a self introduction when you are having a shower in the bathroom or it would be an argument with your mates or anyone you familiar with when you are walking with your dogs etc. In this way you get more used to your voice/words and you would feel much comfortable when chat with others. Anyway dont let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.

　　2) Put yourself in the position to control/command the language. Take notes in English , watch English news . Watch movies without looking at subtitles. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin thinking in English.

　　3) Make the most of it when you have the opportunity to talk with native speakers. Learn their accent! When I was doing the oral test on the 31st Feb, the examiner was pretty impressed with my Australian accent, even there are grammar or logical errors involved, my speech still looks fluent and explosive with the native accent. So I guess the success pretty much relies on that.

　　Basically to wrap it up, on the test day, cool yourself down and have a casual talk with your fellow friend . Throw away all the prepared the notes and have fun! I saw a large number of students still looking at their notes in the last minute inside the waiting room. You know what? That is pathetic and you ll never get the job done!
